@pablo.show this is gonna sound weird, but I loved today's show with Mr Purdie for how much he reminded me of my dad - Black men of the same generation, in a very different line of work, but with such quiet pride and joy in what he did.

This is a really smart and thoughtful essay, highly recommend giving it a read.
Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

I don't really care about Halloween but I miss the days when I did. I know your kid has to grow up and do their own thing, but also I hate it.
